Default High Altitude tuning?

I just recently moved from Hawaii back to Colorado and brought with me my Camaro (didn't have it when I was here last). I've noticed a huge decrease in performance up here at 5k - 8k feet (Denver, and where I live) is there anything I need to do to program it to work better/more efficient up here?

Thanks,
Mike

Doubtful... It's doing the best it can if it's running a MAF

I think it is just going to run in the lower MAP cells. So basically, if you gave the motor the same pressure as in Co when it was in HW... it would run the same despite the elevation. That is just how it is going to run.

I guess the only way to get the MAP up again for more power is forced induction.

The motor already has properly tuned cells for those pressures from the factory.

Your car is a second slower here than at sea level. Nothing can be done about it.
